Free Verse

The freedom of the mind One of the greatest Just like the galaxy Out in every direction Ever growing still You don't need to go straight Or back Or up Or down And more So much more Again like another Like life So many allusions and illusions So many barriers and bars Is this a wall? Or is it a gate? A window or a door To watch or enter A glass to admire the beauty To shatter down and pass through Questions and confusions False meanings Is it really valor To put yourself last Is it really strength To hold all else on your shoulders Is it really wise To make everyone else in the world happy

You see the world and our minds is more like this poem This poetry style "Free Verse" Where can it go I can turn this in any which what direction Just like emotions One moment you are so happy Then the next news comes And clouds spill ebony blackness on your bliss

And then more Because nothing is fair Nothing is right Peace Beauty Tranquility Everything that is supposedly "Right" or "good" Can be so easily snatched away Yet things life tyranny evil darkness fear and sadness Are generally rooted in And are the hardest to banish But the easiest to control... The easiest to control In a world of free verse How can this make a right Or a wrong to control, that wrong To establish a right? Only in free verse.
